Four in Four - Addition Set G - 3dp + 3dp + 1dp
Maths Resource Description
The "Four in Four" activity series, specifically Set G, is an engaging mathematical challenge designed for Year 6 students to practice their addition skills. The task involves adding three numbers together, all of which have decimal points. Each set consists of four addition problems combining numbers with three decimal places (3dp) and one decimal place (1dp). The aim is for students to complete each set of four calculations within a four-minute time frame, testing both their accuracy and speed in arithmetic. The worksheets are clearly laid out with spaces for the date and the student's name, and they are organised into multiple sheets with varying levels of difficulty.
These worksheets, produced by KS2Gems in 2020, are a valuable resource for teachers to assess and reinforce their pupils' understanding of decimal addition. The exercises range from simpler calculations with smaller numbers to more complex sums involving larger values. Each worksheet has a corresponding answer sheet, ensuring that students can receive immediate feedback on their work. This activity not only enhances students' mathematical fluency but also builds their confidence in handling decimals—a crucial skill in their mathematical development.
